Living in the 21st century, it can be easy to take technology for granted. Even the very blended nature of this course presupposes that students and professors alike will all have regular access to fast, reliable internet; however, the reality is that a quarter of Americans simply do not have broadband internet. While we might initially think that this simply translates to limited Instagram access or slow […]

Social media negatively impacts psychological well-being. Even though social media is a great communication tool that helps people share information, thoughts, and ideas, it has multiple side effects. For example, researchers who were behind a 2017 Canadian study found that students who use social media for more than two hours a day are more likely to rate their mental health as poor (paragraph 6). Social […]

Background
Seminal writing on organizational design and structure identified two basic types of organization: mechanistic and organic. These two categories loosely define all forms of organizational structure.
Instructions
Many publicly traded firms (e.g., Fortune 500) will have organizational charts published on their websites. If not, they will have a list of people on the top management team. Based on their titles, you can get a sense of the firm's structure (e.g., product-based or geography). For this assignment, try to exclude Fortune’s top 50 organizations which include Amazon, Apple, and Walmart, to name a few. Determine if the organization is mechanistic or organic based on the definitions provided in this week's resources. Then, write a paper addressing the following:
· Research your chosen organizational structure. On a scale of 1 to 10 (using a table or chart), rate your perception of the following characteristics of the organization:
· Mechanistic vs. Organic
· Task Role: Rigid or Flexible
· Communication: Vertical or Multidirectional
· Decision Making: Centralized or Decentralized
· Sensitivity to Environment: Closed or Open
· After completing this assessment, prepare a summary in which you analyze your results and explain why each characteristic was rated as it was. Support your response with examples. Then, identify which aspects of the organization's structure you would change.
· Create an updated organizational chart for your chosen organization that depicts the new organizational structure (based on the suggested changes) and explains why and how this new design reflects an improvement in the organization's ability to meet its goals.
· Conclude the paper by explaining how managers might assess whether your proposal operates as intended after 12 months. What key performance indicators would you measure and why?
As an appendix to your assignment, please include the organizational chart you found online with the updated organizational chart for comparison.
